Nigel Posted January 20, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 20, 2016 Also you have to consider where we were heading then. Cuellar was here at a time we were aiming for the champions league. As he was a regular in that team (allbeit at right back) he has to be considered a success. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Signed for £8m, released for free. Not a financial success at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a financial success at least We had him for something like 4 seasons that worked out 2m a season. Not bad money. He had a great attitude. Remember Villa even accepted a bid from Rangers for him but he got injured and that move collapsed yet he said he would play anywhere to help the team and continued at right back and did well I think. If my memory serves me correctly he said last game at Villa Park was one of his saddest days. Top pro in my opinion. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not his fault he was asked to play RB even thou he lacked every attribute to be suited to this position. Neither was it his fault Villa let his contract run out without getting a fee for him, that is sadly our modus operandi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 What a pointless signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 What was the point of having this chap? We might as well not bothered and had Senderos as cover this season- who probably is no worse than most of our defence at present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I will hazard a guess that he is a better **** right back than Bacuna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Didn't someone say he had the same agent with Adama or another player we signed? I wonder if the transfer committee, or whatever their name is, decided that big agents' fees were the devil this summer? Maybe we got Crespo as some sort of buy-one-get-one-free deal with an agent? This guy was clearly not a diamond in the rough. Always seemed like a lovely chap in his brief website interviews but, frankly, he had no idea why he was here.

VillaChris Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Rayo played tonight...he wasn't listed in the 18 so dunno if it's an injury, lack of match fitness or the beard has engulfed his body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Is he worth having for a year in the championship? I guess he will return as he only left on loan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far, far better players out there who we can either buy or take on loan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted June 3, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted June 3, 2016 Totally forgot about him. Very promising name, shame about the actual talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I'd rather have him than Richards and tin hat time (this is just my personal opinion) Clark in the squad. I'd like lescott gone but could see the merit in keeping him for one more season. I'd be happy with baker & Crespo as back up to Okore, Toner &? I'll doubt he'll stay though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Was his last (only??) game for us vs Stoke in the back 3? If so I thought he played alright. I'm not really sure how people have formed the opinion that he's crap? Even if you didn't rate him in 1 or 2 showings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 He was a regular for Rayo but they got relegated sadly so doubt they can afford him in the Segunda. Another team will probably take him from the bottom half as I doubt we'll ask for much at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
